Some cool models here, I think those crusaders are well worth taking inspiration from so I may have to do so myself! Looking forward to seeing you get these done, they're looking great already especially the GS.

I've discovered them on the IG FB group page. The body part is normal IG, legs are either GS or Karskins. Helmets from FW I beleive, arms and shields from SM assault squad and sword from Catachan heavy weapon team. At least that's what one says.

Since I'll do copy & paste for some of the henchmen, I'm having a try at silicon molding. I tried with a Kasrkin backpack, to make sure it'll survive any mishappens ... I'll post pictures after my day @work.

I've finished the crusaders master shield, I'll cast it once I am happy with the results of the tests.

Once this is all done, the Crusaders should be ready for priming and basing.

The next step will be the inquisitor himself. I plan to chop off his colar because the actual head is not aligned with torso/spine... I should give him proper powerarmored boots too. You'll see as soon as possible.

Here are the pics of the test. At least, half of them, I need to do the other side of the mold. But it will have to wait, it's Mad Max time at the closest multiplex.

Noone suspect the power of LEGOS !!

Prep for the test :

The pour :

Unmolding :I used sculping clay (plastline) as a base for the first half of the mold.

Results :

Conclusion :The results are rather meh. The backpack was not positioned horizontaly enough, therefore some silicon spilled under the antenna. I'll have to be carefull once all done. However the 'air escaping conducts' are rather good, I am happy with them.All in all, it's 60% satisfactory.

I'm not too sure about chopping up a Kasrkin to make those crusaders. I'd be more inclined to green stuff the armor bits on the fatigues, and that helmet isn't quite right for kasrkin.

I totally agree, I don't want to lose time ripping appart a metal Kasrkin. I'll add some GS to the IG fatigues and make them look like Kasrkin, Karskin, err Kraskinwhatchamacallit...

So, here is the follow up for the molding process :

The pour, part 2 :

The block :

The tadaaam :

Conclusion :I frakked it up. If you take a look at the 1st image, there is a sprue bit that would serve as the main spilling duct. I put it too close the side of the lego, there for now, at the bend, there is a hole ...Since I am in a test phase, I'll try to fix with rubber bands a piece of plastic card and will try to cast.An another hand, I pushed too hard on the backpack when molding the first half, therefore there are not much details on the second side of the mold ...Anyway, more soon, once I've done a few more progress.

Lots of great ideas here. I like those crusaders you're inspired by. I second the suggestion of using regular plastic Cadians though. You can use the Forgeworld hazardous environment heads as they are very similar to Kasrkin heads.

Keep plugging on the moulding ... I've never even attempted that so can't offer any advice but good luck.

Thanks a lot for your support ! As of now, I am GSing (?) regular guardsmen with some reenforced armor plates. The molding process is on hold atm, I'd like to focus on those Crusaders and get them ready for priming and basing.
